What our customers say about us...

While taking care of my rodent problem, Steve also taught me more about varmints than I will ever want to know. His dedication to the mission of Dr. Critter is to be applauded. In addition to being an expert pest exterminator, he is a fine man and someone whom I now consider to be my friend. Thank you for a fine job!- Marcia M., Sanford, FL
